Description:
Deuremidevir, also known as VV116, JT001, and mindeudesivir, is a chemically-modified version of the antiviral remdesivir with oral bioavailability and potent activity against SARS-CoV-2. Deuremidevir is a deuterated, tri-isobutyrate ester prodrug of the RDV parent nucleoside, and is rapidly metabolized into the parent nucleoside (116-N1) in the body. 116-N1 is intracellularly converted to the nucleoside triphosphate active form, which would interfere with the function of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of SARS-CoV-2, thus exerting antiviral effects. Deuremidevir showed potent activity against a panel of SARS-CoV-2 variants (alpha, beta, delta, and omicron) and excellent therapeutic efficacy in the mice model. Note: the non-labeled analog is called GS621763 (Cat#465727).
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
